Last Ride (2011)
“And she does it in senior seminar.
“ I saw Amy on Friday, ” she whispers.
And I saw her yesterday. Nausea turns my stomach inside out. But I don’t want to talk about her. I’d rather talk about the assignment Lansky has given us. Ten minutes to write two paragraphs on who we’d like to have as a mentor in our second semester. “I know. You took her to a show.”
“Yeah.”
I frown at my paper, pretending to be thinking hard. I’ve written Ray’s name down, with a big question mark. Hannah, I note out of ...the corner of my eye, has finished her two paragraphs.
“She’s doing okay,” she adds.
How okay can she be? She’s lost her big brother forever.
Hannah fiddles with her pencil. “She asked about you.”
Sweat beads on my forehead . “Right.” I don’t want to know. I cross out Ray’s name and write down Cam instead. He’s a bus driver. Probably not the kind of mentor Lansky has in mind, but Cam’s honest and he’s smart.
“She wants me to ask you to come to Logan’s party.”MoreLess
